Orpheus
Manage episode 476805106 series 3515786
There was once a city in orbit,
built from the bones of warships.
A child ran through its marble halls chasing a coin.
A man signed a name he did not choose.
Four shadows crossed paths near a leaking vent.
The station turned.
The station turned.
And the stars forgot their names.
